What to Expect
Year 1
Fall Semester includes core courses to cover business fundamentals, such as accounting, finance, marketing, data analysis, ethics, economics, and leadership. You'll also explore your options for choosing one of three Career Accelerator Platforms, and select the members of your Personal Advisory Board.
Spring Semester is when you choose your Career Accelerator Platform, select three elective courses within this Platform, and take two more of your core curriculum studies.
Summer Study is the ideal time to pursue a summer internship and connect with potential employers. You can also gain first-hand consulting experience through the Malloy Group for Organizational Science Consulting, conduct an independent project to strengthen your career skill set or pursue coursework across disciplines with electives courses.
Year 2
Fall Semester gives you plenty of opportunities to take electives within your Career Accelerator Platform, or perhaps re-evaluate your path and select alternative elective courses outside your Platform. You'll also determine your innovation project and select the company you'll work with throughout the semester.
Spring Semester culminates your work in the program, as you meet with your personal advisory board, present your innovation project to your classmates, view other student's work, and reflect on your experience as a whole.
